- What are the potential impacts of a second Trump term on foreign aid to Africa?
- Trump's second term might see decreased foreign aid to Africa, potentially impacting healthcare and democracy-building initiatives, though congressional support for aid could mitigate this.
- What is the potential impact of Trump's immigration policies on African immigrants?
- Trump's hardline stance on immigration could lead to stricter policies impacting African immigrants, potentially through increased deportations and stricter border controls.
- How might a second Trump presidency affect trade relations between the US and Africa?
- The AGOA trade agreement's future is uncertain under Trump, who previously suggested not renewing it. This could negatively affect African exports to the US, particularly if his proposed tariffs on foreign goods are implemented.
- What is the likely effect of a second Trump term on US-Russia competition for influence in Africa?
- While Trump's relationship with Russia is a concern, his administration might increase support for African nations combating terrorism to counter Russian influence. However, his approach may differ significantly from Biden's.
- What is the overall potential impact of a second Trump term on US-Africa relations in terms of trade, investment and security?
- Trump's "America First" approach could reduce investment and trade with Africa, although his previous initiatives like Prosper Africa and the DFC could remain, depending on his priorities.
